Rugged Ridge 18050.51 HD Tie Rod Assembly for 1984-2006 Jeep XJ/ZJ/TJ

The Rugged Ridge HD Tie Rod Assembly for 97-06 Jeep Wranglers is a heavy-duty steering component designed to enhance durability and performance during off-road wheeling. Constructed from true DOM tubing with a 1-1/4 inch diameter steel tube and a 1/4 inch wall thickness, this bolt-on solution prevents bent tie rods when running larger tires.

This assembly is specifically designed for 1997 to 2006 Jeep Wrangler models, providing a direct replacement upgrade for stock steering components. It is ideal for off-road enthusiasts and wheeling applications where increased durability and resistance to bending are critical. The kit includes the necessary tie rod components for a straightforward bolt-on installation, ensuring a reliable upgrade for demanding terrain. Suitable for off-road use, this tie rod assembly enhances steering strength and longevity without sacrificing compatibility or ease of installation.
